Charlie Rose asked her, “As you were pushing him and giving him that right hook you have, what was he saying to you?”

She replied, “’Mom, mom, mom, okay mom,’ and I was pretty much just telling him, ‘How dare you do this?’”

Now, millions of people around the nation are cheering her.

The Nightly Show host, Larry Wilmore joked, “Yes! You do not mess with mom. She will take you down, son!”

Some people are questioning whether Toya should have hit her son that way.

One online comment read, "She attacked her son, punching him in the face and screaming obscenitites. She went about it the WRONG way."
